Abstract

Intraperitoneal injection of bacterial lipopolysaccharide in a dose of 1 mg/kg was followed by prestimulation of whole blood leukocytes in rats. Activities of peroxide- and lipoperoxide-utilizing antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, and catalase increased 1 day after lipopolysaccharide administration, while the content of malonic dialdehyde in the skin remained unchanged.
